<p>Unfortunately my school doesn’t give +s/-s, so I got:</p>
<p>Calculus in 3D- B (would have been an A if I hadn’t been overly cocky going into the final)
Inorganic Chemistry- A
Physiology- A
Physics I- B
Who are you and who cares (english)- A</p>
<p>Semester GPA- 3.59
Cumulative GPA- 3.76</p>
<p>Multivariate Calculus A
Discrete Math A
History of the Modern Middle East A
Topology B+</p>
<p>Semester: 3.83
Overall: 3.29 </p>
<p>Topology is pretty hard, but extremely interesting. I didn’t really have the prereqs needed to take it, but I waived into it. </p>
<p>I hope to graduate with at least a 3.5. Had a bad freshmen year.</p>
<p>so 4 you people taking 4 classes, looking back do you think you could have handled one more class?</p>
<p>its funny you ask. I am actually going to be taking 5 classes in the fall. My schedule should hopefully be the following:</p>
<p>classical mechanics
prob and stats
modern algebra
honors intro to computer science
arabic I</p>
<p>all my classes are junior and senior level except the cs course and arabic. so, they should be pretty hard, but after this semester i think i am well prepared. its really just about time management. i’ve got it down, and even my friends were amazed at how on top of my stuff i was throughout the semester. especially when they would be trying to cram stuff in at the last minute, but i wouldn’t have any work to do.</p>
<p>yea i’ll be taking 5 too</p>
<p>@pierrechn- I took 5 classes, but I am taking 6 in the fall and spring. I think I can handle it, but it’ll be interesting.</p>
<p>Introduction to Psychology : A
Statistics: A+
Computer Applications/Concepts: A+</p>
<p>Cumulative: 3.61</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s Georgia Politics classes in GA, as well.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Honestly, if you’re in a position to take four classes during both fall and spring, and subsequently make-up for the lost credits in the summer, I’d go that route instead, especially if it may affect a GPA.</p>
<p>My grades are based on a 4.3 scale. Therefore I will post my weighted and unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>Has anyone taken Differential Equations (M 427K at UTexas)? How bad is it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I took only 4 classes both semesters last year–14 and 15 credits respectively. I’m not “behind” at all; I had a 4-hour class each time. Taking 4 classes a semester may just be the norm at certain colleges and not at others.</p>
<p>Optics B+
Thermal B
Electrical Eng. A
Electrical Eng. Lab A
Java A
Proj. A</p>
<p>4.0! :D</p>
<p>General Bio - A

Stats for Psychology - A
Speech - A</p>
<p>I wish my college gave out A+ grades, yet sadly I go to a CC :/. I still feel like my 4.0 is devalued, is that weird?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>One of the only schools in my area that gives A+'s caps a student’s GPA at 4.0 though it values A+'s at 4.3 Thus, A+'s can bring you to a 4.0, but not past it, at least at that school.</p>
<p>A+'s do seem unfair in the law school admissions process, but many schools are only granting A+'s for >98%, so it’s not likely they’re handing them out–and if you found a school that was, that’s what the LSAT is for. That 98% is for the likes of math and science courses… I saw a philosophy course syllabus once where there were 10 possible extra credit points for the course, and an A+ was any grade >100%.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was referring to the people who actually did fall behind because they’d only taken 4 3-hour courses instead of 2 4-hour and 2 3-hour, or whatever other kinds of mixtures there are (this doesn’t account for AP credits or things of that nature).</p>
<p>At my school 4 classes is typical. The classes in my major are primarily 4 credits so more than 4 classes would be absurd…but if I’m taking gen. eds (mostly 3 credit classes), 5 classes is easily doable. I have taken anywhere from 14-17 credits a semester and that is pretty normal. My friend took 3 classes last semester and still had 13 credits, because Chinese is worth 5 credits.</p>
<p>Conservation Management B
Sports in America A-
Expressive Drawing A
Biology Discussion for Graduating Seniors A

<p>Wrong thread. Sorry.</p>
